Iomega teams up with Skin Industries on HDDs
Iomega on Monday released new portable drives with external designs from Skin Industries. The three available Skin Drives all have a 500GB capacity and are USB 2.0-powered. The drives carry Iomega's Drop Guard technology that can protect the drive and its data from damage from drops of up to 51 inches onto a relatively hard surface like an industrial carpet.
The range is made up of the Radical with a retro Skin-branded printed logo design on a black top with a vibrant yellow base, the Red Hot with a Skin Swipe logo printing on a red top with a black base, and the gothic-themed Knock Out with a silver top with a black base.
The drives come preloaded with Iomega's Protection Suite that includes backup and anti-virus software as well as 2GB of online storage. The Iomega Skin drives are now available in the US at $120.

"Click of Death" standard feature?
I'm just wondering if this comes with their patented "Click of Death" feature. Or do their products make more of a grinding noise these days?
